Longhorn42 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 after debating for a while between a KJ III and Louisiana grill, I bought the Louisiana grill from Costco given the big price difference. I created an island around it and my grill is enclosed inside (see photo). I did leave a 8" x 20" opening in the front for air intake. I am not sure how hot the outside of the grill gets and if I should insulate the grill with ceramic insulation etc. Directly or the walls of the enclosure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamadoChris Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 That looks really nice, only thing I wonder is how do you plan to collect the ash? I place a pail under the vent and pull the ash out and it drops in, you may have to use a vacuum? In terms of how hot the outside gets, if you built the enclosure with cement board and left a decent enough air gap 1-2" I don't think you have anything to worry about. I can place my hand on the outside comfortably enough up to about 400F or so. I wonder though if you packed the gap with insulation if that would cause an overheat situation and cause potential issues? Not sure.
